Better health system needed

Why should businesses have to provide health-care benefits for their employees when the costs are passed on to those who use their services? The unemployed or uninsured are thus helping pay for the health-care benefits of the employed. Wouldn't it be more fair if everybody had to provide their own health-care insurance? Former Gov. Mike Leavitt is afraid that the health-care benefits provided through businesses will be in jeopardy if the government becomes involved. So what? Isn't everybody entitled to health care? There should be a better way.
